“Awakening and Embodying Love”
Spring 2012 Retreat with Tami Simon
Wednesday May 16 – Sunday May 20, 2012
Hosted by Stowel Lake Farm, Salt Spring Island, BC
The heart is our most important organ of knowing, feeling, and relating with others. Yet so often our heart is bound up in fear and defense. In this 5-day immersive “Meditating with the Body” retreat, we will focus on practices that are specifically designed to unbind the heart and open us to the infinite love that can flow through us.
As we deepen our practice of “Meditating with the Body”, there is a natural progression that occurs that begins to unfold the energy of the heart. As we root ourselves at deeper and deeper levels in the spacious energy of the earth, there is an upwelling of warmth that flows from the earth into our bodies. This energy is like a fire that begins to soften, melt, and open our heart. We become the recipient of a boundless love that wants to flow through us – to the needy parts of ourselves, to each other, and to anywhere our love is needed.
In this 5-day retreat, we will deepen our practice of “Meditating with the Body” emphasizing the felt experience of the heart unfolding. New practitioners are welcome to join us as well as people who have attended previous “Meditating with the Body” retreats.
